I dive two computers for exactly this reason. I have my Aeris Atoms in my pocket, and dive my Epic. If the Epic fails, my Atmos has been in the water the entire time, and go to that.
However if I DID dive just one computer, and it failed, I would NOT stay out of the water for 24 hours. I'd most likely just do more conservative dives, but continue diving.
This also depends a lot on what type of profiles one is doing. If I were in the Keys, and only doing shallower reefs, I could dive all week without anything but at BT. If doing more advanced profiles, could still likely dive there just because I've done it enough to know where my limits fall.
The idea is to be safe. If one can do that, it really does not matter how that is accomplished. Uncle Pug never used a computer, and did not use conventional tables either.
